Seventh International Conference on Very High Cycle Fatigue

VHCF7

Aims and Scope

The Seventh International Conference on Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF7) is scheduled to be held from 3 to 5 July 2017 in Dresden, Germany.

With an increasing scarcity of resources, strategies to realize the most efficient design and engineering of components and hence an optimum utilization of cyclic strength of engineering materials becomes more and more important. Nowadays a growing number of components have to withstand a number of loading cycles well beyond the classical fatigue limit. Thus, there is a global interest in, and need for, an improved understanding of the fatigue behavior of structural materials in the very high cycle fatigue range in order to develop reliable fatigue life prediction methods for number of cycles of 106 to 1010 or even higher. VHCF7 will continue the tradition to serve as a lively and fertile platform bringing together the international VHCF community and all those interested to present, discuss and learn about the latest findings from fundamental and applied research and to get to know the impact on practical applications.

The conference will comprise invited keynote lectures by outstanding international scientists, contributed oral presentations and posters. Suggestions for special topics are welcome. The conference language is English and the contributions are planned to be published via a renowned reviewed open-access journal.
